[Grief experience by 154 young adults in the general population (value of the TRIG grief scale). Texas Revised Inventory of Grief].

154 young adults (25-35 years old) of the general population completed tests and questionnaires in order to find correlations between the scores at the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief, TRIG (Faschingbauer et al. 1977) and several personality variables (depression, anxiety-state and -trait, self-esteem, locus of control, social support, and tobacco dependency). The correlation between all these variables are presented and discussed. TRIG, in its French translation and validation, proves to be a reliable and specific instrument in the assessment of bereavement (past and current distress, and coping process).
